Modern Egypt, from
1517
to the end of
the twentieth century
Volume z of
THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF EGYPT
traces
Egypt's modern history from the Ottoman conquest in 1517 to
the end of the twentieth century. Scholars from the humanities
and social sciences have been brought together to explore the
political, social and economic history of Egypt under the Otto
mans, through the British occupation to the post-independence
era. The authors' conclusions not only reflect the work of
traditional scholarship, but also indicate important recent
advances in historical writing on modern Egypt which have been
made possible as archival material becomes more accessible.

THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF EGYPT
offers the first compre
hensive English-language treatment of Egyptian history through
thirteen centuries, from the Arab conquest to the end of the
twentieth century. The two-volume survey, written by inter
national experts, considers the political, socio-economic and
cultural history of the world's oldest state, summarizing the
debates and providing insight into current controversies. Implicit
in the project is the need to treat Egypt's history as a continuum
and at the heart of any regional comparisons. As Egypt reclaims a
leading role in the Islamic, Arab and Afro-Asian worlds, the
project stands as testimony to its complex and vibrant past. Its
balanced and integrated coverage will make an ideal reference
tool for students, scholars and general readers.
